Lots of Stella & Dot jewelry sightings on ABC’s hit show The Bachelor.
The girls love the jewels and we love seeing it on screen![ABC’s The Bachelor, Season 19, week 4, aired on Monday, January 26, 2015]

And more Stella & Dot sightings on ABC’s The Bachelor during this week’s episode while they are in Santa Fe, New Mexico (or where they in Mexico? Or San Jose? I’m not sure).[ABC’s The Bachelor, Season 19, week 5, aired on Monday, February 2, 2015]

Well, needless to say, I am not the only one. I personally think Kaitlyn is a front runner. I like her laugh and her easy going personality, she seems to roll with the punches. I might want to meet her in real life and roll around Costco with her in a blow-up ball. Hehe. Annnnd I may also want to style her in more Stella & Dot jewelry. I mean, COME ON, she already wears it so well!

See her below wearing the turquoise Rory Necklace from Stella & Dot. It looks so FAB paired with a cherry red blouse. I love it!

The other ladies of The Bachelor have also been spotted wearing Stella & Dot jewelry throughout the episodes. Here’s a peek….

A lot of the other girls were also spotted wearing some Stella & Dot statement necklace throughout the show. [ABC, The Bachelor, aired January 19, 2015].

This fall, color is bright and bold, and it’s all about mixing textures & styles. The season’s trends can easily transition from day to evening, and any one can wear a few trends at a time without looking costume-y. Check out the top 5 trends and how to wear them right now and into winter.

Trend #1: Cobalt
Neon ruled the summer, but this season, blue is at its best. From deep navy to cobalt, this hue is making a big splash. You can find this hue in every store, from Forever 21 to Banana Republic, and you can easily wear it to work and to football practice.

How to Wear Blue for Fall & Winter:
* First, determine what style you are and how you can most likely fit this into your wardrobe. If you like classic lines, go with a bright blue v-neck sweater, pencil skirt, suede pumps or button-up shirt. If you want to add in a little spunk and jazz up your wardrobe, then be bold with a navy leather jacket, or add a pop with a pretty scarf trimmed in the fun, bright, trendy color.

Erin’s Style Notes:
Keep in mind that this color isn’t as obnoxious or attention-grabbing as other hues. Bright blue can be very sleek, clean and “almost” neutral. Blue is a universal color and most people wear blue jeans every day, so our eye is accustomed to seeing this shade. Don’t be afraid of a bright blue sheath dress or a cobalt coat, for example. Both will stand the test of time and will still be “on-trend” years to come.

Trend #2: Animal Prints
From leopard to snakeskin, animal prints are fall’s favorite wild card. Both exotic and neutral, they add sophistication to feminine silhouettes. And the thing about animal is this: Wear a little or a lot. It can be subtle or funky. And that’s all determined by how you wear the trend.

How to Add Leopard to Your Wardrobe:
* If you don’t already have leopard – or if you have just a piece or two – start small & start with accessories. Try a ballet flat, belt, wallet, or scarf in the print.
* Stick with one leopard print item at a time & work your way up to two prints (if you’re feeling bold & adventurous)
* Love this print? Try a sexy animal print dress or a snakeskin jean. Try Old Navy for affordable, trendy options.
* Look for animal print lining in a jacket or blazer, or on a collar. Also, check for animal print piping. The

Erin’s Style Notes:
Boden USA has some adorable (and very affordable!) leopard print flats and belts right now. I personally love leopard print because it incorporates both black and brown. A lot of people think they can’t wear black and brown at the same time. If you feel this way, try a leopard print accessory to bring in both tones. Black pants with a leopard shoe or belt allows you to wear any other accessory color you wish. Red bag? Sure! Brown sunnies? Yes please. Green cardigan? That wold look great.

And snakeskin is usually very subdued in color and can act as a neutral in your outfit. A snakeskin print that’s colorful is super trendy and may become outdated quickly. Try a neutral tone, such as The Switch Tote Bag from Stella & Dot.

Trend #3: Texture
Fall 2013 runways featured opulent details and exciting textures, such as sumptuous leather layered with metallic embellishments in every hue, tweed, brocade and beautiful stitching. Leather jackets are THE item of the season, and paired with a nubby knit sweater, it’s perfectly fall appropriate. Wear a woven necklace with your LBD or work sheath for a hint of textural drama.

How to Add Texture to Your Outfit:
* Start by adding two different textural elements to your ensemble, such as… Lace, leather, silk or satin, denim, rope, knitwear or woven materials.
* This is a great way to wear a monochromatic outfit or wear similar shade (i.e. neutral beige or all black)

Erin’s Style Notes:
In the image above, the model is wearing a great black leather jacket with a cotton tee and denim jeans. Simple enough, right? Yes, but it’s simplicity is turned up a notch because it features several textures. Add on a funky necklace, and it finishes the look.

In the image below, the model is wearing a great neutral outfit. But let’s look at why it works: beige knit sweater, light blue jeans and a metallic leather-like bag combine the same color family, but mixes in completely different textures. Doing this adds great dimension to her outfit. It will never look “flat.”

Trend #4: High Shine
Forget subtle—take center stage when combining neutrals with shine. Add a metallic bag or shimmering jewelry to amp up your star power without being too over-the-top. A fun metallic skirt, silver heel or sparkly wristlet are all great ways to incorporate this trend.

How to Shine Up Your Wardrobe:
* Jewelry! This is an obvious choice, but a sparkly pair of earrings is the best way to add shine to your outfit.
* Metallic stitching in a sweater or hat can also add that subtle hint of gleam.
* Metallic anything – it’s all good. Belts, shoes, even nail polish. Add no more than two at a time, and don’t worry if they don’t match exactly. I would just stay away from anything too bright. If Liberace would wear, it may be too much.

Erin’s Style Note:
This trend is the easiest, in my opinion, because there are so many great metallic accessories and clothing options for an affordable price. Plus, metallics are pretty middle-of-the-road neutral. No matter your age, size, job, etc… It will work for you.

An easy way to wear two different metallics at one time? Mixed metal jewelry. Just like the texture trend, this adds a lot of dimension to an outfit without much work. Stella & Dot’s Zoe Lariat Necklace or Kahlo Bib Necklace feature 4 different metals. Or try the Raina Chandelier Earrings for a great, subtle sparkle & you have the option to wear either rose gold, silver or yellow gold.

Trend #5: Stack it on
When it comes to rings and bracelets, more is more! Drape jewels from delicate to bold or stack mixed metals on your fingers and wrists to show your personality and style. Rose gold, silver, hematite… Or all of the above! Mix and match metals, sizes and styles for a look all your own.

How to Stack It On:
* Start by choosing pieces that have a similar tone and size, such as the silver & black bracelets in the example above.
* Don’t be afraid to mix metals. Silver, rose gold, yellow, hematite – they all look great worn together!
* Experiment with texture – wear wood beads with metal bangles, or shiny rings with subdued gemstones.

Also, a great way to mix in metals is to add in one or two new items with what you already have. Consider adding the multi-metal Luna Wrap Bracelet (which can also be worn as a necklace!) with your everyday watch, or add on the Wanderlust Wrap Bracelet to your outfit.

Stella & Dot best-selling Serenity Drop Earrings are a favorite jewelry piece for a reason: The earring comes in four different semi-precious stones, it’s the perfect a not-too-big, but not-too-small size for any one, and it’s less than $50. Choose between turquoise, green jade, brown smoky quartz or aqua calcedony stone. It’s the perfect statement earring for every woman, for every outfit. It will surely be a staple in your jewelry wardrobe. And compare it to the $1,000 Ippolita Turquoise Teardrop Earrings from Neiman Marcus, below left, it’s even more of a steal. I mean, wow, who spends a grand on turquoise earrings??

Des has it good. I mean, what girl wouldn’t want to spend her afternoon in a Jacuzzi with 15 half naked men? Really, REALLY good looking, half naked men, I may add. Sigh.

The new season of The Bachelorette continues to deliver the drama as Brian’s girlfriend comes forward, Brandon sobs his way home (to my neck of the woods, eh) and Ben continues to play the douche bag card. [ABC The Bachelorette, season 9, episode 3, aired Monday, June 10, 2013]

And of course Des continues to look freakin’ ah-dor-able. Damn her.

Get Desiree’s look for less with these budget options….

Desiree’s look on her group date tonight on The Bachelorette episode 3 is the epitome of boho chic. Des is wearing a white fringe sweater from Free People, now on sale. And her green cocktail ring is absolutely stunning. Get a similar look with the green Jade Camilla Ring from Stella & Dot jewelry.

Des wore a cute turquoise tank and white shorts with a long gold pendant (as Ben snuck out and got a secret ride with Des, ha!). Get a similar look with the gold Rebel Pendant Necklace from Stella & Dot jewelry.

Some people loooove neon. Others don’t understand the trend. And then there are people like me who used to question why anyone would wear it, but now is considering it in small doses. If you can relate, try these cute neon accessories for summer. They give you a little bit of that jolt of color without being too obnoxious or over-the-top. Gotta love that colorful, summertime fashion!

The season is starting off with a bang, as tension already builds with two of the men in the bachelorette house (do you know which two I’m referring to?). Desiree Hartsock was spotted wearing some turquoise and gold jewelry from Stella & Dot on the second show of ABC’s hit TV show The Bachelorette. [ABC’s The Bachelorette, Season 9, episode 2, aired on Monday, June 3, 2013]

Bachelorette Des Hartsock is wearing the delicate turquoise drop Sleeping Beauty Earrings from Maya Brenner Designs (pssst! Did you know that celeb jewelry designer Maya Brenner is a collaborator with Stella & Dot jewelry?!!?). Case in point: Des is wearing the turquoise Maya Necklace from Stella & Dot in this pic, above, from episode 2! And YES, it’s called the Maya Necklace because Maya Brenner herself designed this piece exclusively for Stella & Dot!

ABC’s newest star of The Bachelorette visited news correspondent Michael Yo from OMG! Insider to dish about her feelings for the remaining men on the show. She wore a pretty turquoise sleeveless top (she really does love turquoise, doesn’t she?!?) with a sequin tribal print skirt and aztec-inspired gold jewelry.

Des Hartsock of The Bachelorette is wearing a sequin tribal print skirt from Haute & Rebellious. And considering it’s only $58, you don’t need to seek out a look-alike for less. Check out Des wearing the gold Avalon Crescent Necklace from Stella & Dot, also a total steal for just $39! Check out the turquoise Sunwashed Tank from Ann Taylor LOFT to complete the bachelorette look.

We are all falling in love with Desiree Hartsock, the newest bachelorette on ABC’s hit TV show The Bachelorette. Well, Des is hoping that one of her 25 suitors will fall in love with her too. I personally can’t wait to see what this season will have in store for us viewers.

This bachelorette look that Des Hartsock wore on the season premiere is so cute!! I love the red dress and bold turquoise bracelet and ring. The bold enamel bracelet is the turquoise Crystal Opulence Hinged Bracelet from Joan Rivers for QVC. And the red dress is from Opening Ceremony.

One of my favorite Stella & Dot rings was recently featured in the press! Check out the genuine turquoise Mary-Margaret Stone Ring from Stella & Dot in the April 2013 issue of Redbook magazine with Lauren Conrad on the cover (seriously love her!) in the “Fashion Under $50″ article. This ring is the perfect little pop of color for spring and summer. I love to stack this turquoise ring with the gold bands of the Stackable Band Rings, also from Stella & Dot jewelry (a set of five rings). I also love wearing my Ariella Collection “Faith” Ring from Nordies with it too. How do you stack your rings???

The Bachelor‘s AshLee Frazier looked absolutely gorgeous on last night’s episode of The Bachelor “Women Tell All” [ABC, The Bachelor, Women Tell All Episode, Monday, March 4, 2013] in her tight blue Herve Leger bandage dress and turquoise jewelry. Plus, her awesome new hair color (and longer length!), which Sean noted on the show. I guess looking good is the best revenge, eh?

Real housewife of Beverly Hills Adrienne Maloof has said she loves a big statement earring. And she was recently seen on an episode of Bravo’s The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills wearing gorgeous green drop earrings that everyone has been asking about. While I haven’t yet found the exact earrings that Adrienne Maloof wore on the show, I do recommend checking out these genuine green jade Serenity Stone Drop Earrings from Stella & Dot. For just $49, I’m sure it’s a lot less than the real housewife paid for her pair.

And if all that wasn’t enough to want these earrings, consider this: The leading industry expert on color trends, Pantone, chose Emerald Green as the 2013 Color of the Year! Now we know RWOBV Adrienne Maloof and all these A-listers are really on-trend!

I love color! And I especially love Kathie Lee Gifford wearing color (she doesn’t look good in neutrals, in my opinion). Today she wore the blue Seychelles Chandelier Earrings from Stella & Dot jewelry on NBC’s morning talk show The Today Show with Hoda and Kathie Lee [NBC, The Today Show; Tuesday, January 29, 2013]. She paired the blue chandelier earrings with a purple sheath dress and she looked fab! (The Stella & Dot chandelier earrings are also available in pink color.)

The media is buzzing about Taylor Swift’s new smoldering look from the 2013 People’s Choice Awards. The lovely country singer stepped on to the red carpet wearing a long white dress with a daringly low neckline and gorgeous turquoise drop earrings. Another key part of her new look? Smoky eyes and plump lips. Use a coppery-brown color to line the entire eye, add a coral lip and knockout earrings… And you’re set to steal any guy’s heart!
